[CSS] Printed Pages Margins

[CSS] Display Box, A Separate Property.

The CSS Display Module is currently a proposal by Tab Atkins and a few others to redefine the way the display property is working. At this time, it is not yet approved by the CSS WG. They are advocating a complete separate property for display and not a longhand property. It is common for CSS to have these constructs short/longhand.

Web Components, The First Editor Draft

Finally, the first editor’s draft of Web components has been published. As the abstract says: Web Components are a way to include and reuse HTML documents in other HTML documents. The Web components are enabled through a new link type and a link element. For example,

<link rel="component" href="/components/heart.html">

Note that the value is not stable yet. And it might change in the future. See the initial discussions about it.

rel value for “component” could probably be “subdocument”. That’s nice and accurate.
